Mamada Perdida

Joke Van den hof, Belgium, 2016, 6’

It is sometimes said that if a man places a pearl under the skin of his penis, he will bring the woman the greatest pleasure. She is a beautiful girl, and her looks are so stunning; her head is like a perfect pearl. He grants her the greatest of all pleasures, while she will give him anything he desires. After a playful love dance, she melts into him, at the cost of losing themselves in each other to arrive at their deepest desires.

Pleasure Garden

Joke Van den hof’s Mamada Perdida

Laïka Planchenault
15.12.2024

Prompted by the curious Vice article “Why Are Cuban Men Putting Pearls in Their Dicks?”, Joke Van den hof’s mind sprouted this steaming tale of love and lust. The Antwerp-based illustrator and animator ponders the consequences of total infatuation. If her playful rendering seems like a far leap from the original story, further consideration has it make perfect sense. Mamada Perdida—which roughly translates to ‘lost blowjob’—reminds us of the frenzied state so characteristic of first love. What better testament to the follies of love (or is it lust?) than a slew of men putting pearls in their penises in hopes of offering their sexual partners the ultimate pleasure?

Swollen Stigma

Sarah Pucill, United Kingdom, 1998, 21’

Swollen Stigma is a visual, surrealistic narrative about a woman travelling both literally and psychically through several rooms. Memories, or fantasies, of another woman, fill her imagination. The film proposes lesbian imagery, and its shifting points of view jump between the protagonist, fantasy spaces, and her lover, making an internal world leak into what is external.

In Curve Notes _ Stream

Flavia Regaldo, Portugal, 2023, 7’

Hand-painted watercolours explore bodies, desire, and the tension between both in this experimental animated film. Due to an explosion of colour and movement that escapes classical animation, an unusual sensorial force is achieved. Alternating colours, lines, and density, the drawings question pornography and normative sexuality.
